One Direction and The Wanted in new Twitter feud
One Direction and The Wanted's ongoing feud heated up on Sunday (07Apr13) as the boybands exchanged barbs over Twitter.com.
The two pop groups have enjoyed a friendly rivalry in the past, but the fight turned nasty after One Direction's Louis Tomlinson made a sly dig at The Wanted during a recent gig in London.
Tom Parker apparently took exception to his comments and tweeted,
"You even talk about us at your own gigs. Are you that upset you
didn't get in this band?" to which Louis Tomlinson replied, "Pal,
we both know I wouldn't waste my time auditioning for your band.
You humor me with your bad boy persona."
Tom Parker then posted a clip of Tomlinson's first audition on The
X Factor and sarcastically commented "nice work", while the What
Makes You Beautiful hitmaker insisted, "I actually think you could
be the biggest t**t on Twitter... P.S. enjoy the press from this...
Funny that face to face you act like a little girl. Goodnight old
friend."
His bandmate Liam Payne then interjected: "Tom let's talk about
your singing... your amazing tone pierces my ears with every note,"
while Louis Tomlinson added, "I also heard he wets the bed."
The Wanted's Jay McGuiness then butted in to give Louis Tomlinson a
piece of his mind, writing, "Please stop mentioning us in your
gigs, we certainly no longer mention you and it's time to let dead
dogs lie. Your passive-aggressive style of speaking makes me
cringe... I'm not sure what's happened since we saw you at The X
Factor, but you've done a sterling job of becoming one of the most
overrated, arrogant and not to mention insincere people around.
Your shocking lack of talent will only be forgiven by lots of
humility and no-strings-attached friendship among your band. Louis,
don't measure your worth in followers or money, because they're
fickle, and when they go you might just feel worthless."
Louis Tomlinson tried to get the last word by tweeting, "Jay, this
would be a lovely insight for your next book. You must have been a
splendid student. Never forget you boys started this."
